Beth and Jared

Beth Bourgeois and Jared Lee were married on a perfect fall day at Willow Pond in Monticello, Florida. It was so pretty at Willow Pond. I love the portraits we took in the hay pasture. After a lovely ceremony, Beth and Jared's guests enjoyed dinner by Andrew's Catering and dancing with Eppes Entertainment. Beth is a New Orleans native, and I always love the colorful wedding traditions of Louisianans. Jared is an honest-to-goodness cowboy, so they incorporated cowboy elements into the decor. The cake, created by Margaret Springer, was decorated with horseshoes. Lisa's Bartenders provided the bartending services.

Congratulations, Beth and Jared!

 

Noah

Noah and his mommy came to the studio for his second sitting in his Baby Plan. He's changed so much since his newborn portraits. We got some super-cute shots!

Samantha

Congratulations Hults and Richardtz families! Whitney and Marcus welcomed beautiful Samantha, their first child, at the end of September. I love this couple and am so happy for them:)

Kyndall

I've enjoyed reading Ashley-Anne's blog since she was pregnant with her daughter Kyndall. Ashley-Anne is such an awesome mommy and I felt like I already knew her whole family by the time we met in person for Kyndall's one year portraits. Kyndall is an absolute doll. She'd just gotten her ears pierced. We took some smash cake portraits at the studio as well as some beautiful outdoor portraits at Maclay Gardens. Tiny little Kyndall ate almost the entire cake! I had a blast during Kyndall's portrait session. Thanks so much, Ashley-Anne, Phyllis and Kelly for your hard work in helping me get some great shots of the little princess!

Paisley

I am sooo far behind on blogging.  I've been so busy, I'm sorry you've had to wait so long for some of these posts!

My friend, Hayley, owner of Hayley Lauren Couture, and her husband Matt welcomed sweet little Paisley recently.  She is such a beautiful little girl! I love these pictures! She's such a calm, serene baby. She's definitely got her Mommy's disposition.

Why Choose Kris Kimel Photography?

Congratulations to all the newly engaged couples! After you recover from the excitement of saying “yes”, you will probably start shopping around for vendors to help make your wedding the day you’ve always dreamed of. This can be a really overwhelming process. Choosing a photographer is one of the most important decisions you’lll make regarding your wedding, and it can definitely be the most rewarding. What should you look for in a photographer?
Most of my clients choose Kris Kimel Photography because for them, photography is one of the most important elements of their wedding. It will preserve the memories of this once- in-a-lifetime event, capture the images of family and friends coming together to support you, and tell the story of the beginning of your new life together. When I meet potential clients for the first time, I like to talk about what they are looking for in a photographer, what kind of images they are drawn to, and the vision they have of their wedding.
Everyone’s wedding and relationship is unique and their images should be, too. It’s important to find a photographer who is able to create beautiful, quality images consistantly and not just recreate the same images for all of their clients. I hold a Master of Fine Arts degree in photography, so my clients get artistic, fresh images every time.
My clients know they can trust me completely and often tell me how comfortable I make them feel. It makes me feel great to hear that I helped them relax and enjoy the experience and that they love their pictures. I include an engagement session in all my wedding packages for that reason. It helps couples loosen up, get to know me, and gives me a peek into their unique love story. My clients appreciate my professionalism, reliability and calmness under pressure. I am very flexible- I can make anything work-beautifully! The last thing anyone needs is a photographer who will add to the stress of a wedding. My clients often become my friends. And I want to be their photographer for life. I take many of my clients’ children’s portraits years after their wedding.
My clients also appreciate the value for cost of my work. I provide gorgeous, custom-designed storybook albums for a reasonable price. Before I got my Master of Fine Arts degree, I was a professional graphic designer. By utilizing my graphic design skills, I am able to do all the design work on the albums, keeping the cost down. While I may not be the least expensive photographer, my clients know they are getting the best value and quality for their money.
Good luck in your search for the perfect wedding photographer. Thank you so much for your consideration. Please call me if you’d like to meet to look at samples and talk about your upcoming wedding. My number is 850-561-8991 and my email is kris@kriskimelphotography.com. And again, Congratulations!
